The Ipcress File: The rebel spy who is the anti-James Bond
In 2006, an ordinary-looking pair of spectacles went on sale at Christie's, the London auction house. They were expected to fetch up to £3,000 ($4,088). In fact, they sold for £6,600 ($8,994), and the buyer had bought a little piece of movie history.

The Northman review: 'Not weird or violent enough'
The Northman is a film in which a Viking prince proves his worthiness by farting, and then levitates while his father's innards morph into a magical fortune-telling tree. It's a film in which Björk plays a witch with no eyes and a wheat-sheaf headdress, and a frenzied Valkyrie rides a white horse across the sky. Noses are bitten off, throats are torn out, and a man staggers into a fire, holding handfuls of his own entrails. It's not your typical Friday night at the cinema. And yet, despite all of the strangeness and brutality mentioned above, The Northman isn't quite strange or brutal enough.

Why Jennifer Lopez is Hollywood's most underestimated star
Sing the lyric: "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got" to any millennial, and chances are they'll pipe back: "I'm still, I'm still, Jenny From The Block". Twenty years on from its release in September 2002, Jennifer Lopez's song Jenny from the Block is still just as infectious an earworm, and has pulled in 162 million views on YouTube and counting.

Bros
The internet's reaction to Bros theatrical release is extremely sad. The box office most definitely does not reflect the charm, wit and heart of this movie. Most of the complaints i’ve heard are shallow and frankly, stupid. So here we go, the reality of the quality of this movie.

The Questionable Ethics of 'Rust' Resuming Production
On Thursday, October 21st, 2021, actor Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger on what he thought was a 'cold gun,' a real gun on the set of a movie that is not loaded. Unfortunately, this particular weapon was loaded and when Baldwin pulled the trigger, a bullet struck Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and killed her. It also wounded director Joel Souza who was looking over Hutchins' shoulder as the shot was fired. Hutchins died on the way to the hospital.

Movie Critique Throwback: Blank Check
This movie has been my all time underrated favorite Disney film compared to Polly and Angels in the Outfield (all 90s Disney underrated live action films). The movie opens Carl Quigley (played by Miguel Ferrier) an inmate escaping from finding his money in abandoned cottage. Preston Waters (played by Brian Bonsall), eleven-year-old, dealing with a crisis, his bullied older brothers: (both played by Chris Demetral and Michael Faustino) are taking over his room to start their Hand and Foot business, and he's not getting much allowance money. At the amusement park for Butch's birthday party, Butch (played by Alex Zuckerman) Preston's bully, which I don't know he's there and how he got invited. Maybe Butch's dad knows Preston's dad or maybe childhood friends or next door neighbors. Preston had to watch his friends have fun and he rides on the lame rides. The funniest part was when he was Preston holding cotton candy while Butch and his friends and a huge wave got at Preston. At dinner, Sandra Waters, Preston's mother (played by Jayne Atkinson) gives him a birthday card from his grandmother. In the card, it was a blank check for Preston but Grandma forgot to write the amount of payment. So Fred Waters, Preston's dad (played by James Rebhorn) and businessman writes the amount of $11. Preston meets Shay (played by Karen Duffy), an attractive banker, the way she walks is like a Marvin Gaye is about to come on.

Review: "Hellraiser"
Clive Barker is known for a certain kind of horror that revels in pain with slight tones of sex. His work in Hellraiser is no exception in this case with its kinky overtones and visually striking villain, Pinhead. The original films had their share of fans due to the visceral nature of their proceedings. All of the things you could expect to see in a remake are here, such as sadomasochistic monsters and a cast of morally questionable characters. Still, unlike the original, it doesn’t stick the landing, nor does it have bite.

I Came By
Sometimes, you watch a movie, and the opening scenes don't show much promise but you decide to stick with it and later find it is actually good stuff. That was my experience watching the movie I Came By. It's compelling and meaningful and will probably leave you slightly downhearted at how closely it mirrors real life. It glaringly highlights society's class divides; the challenges in providing justice to the poor, the marginalized, and the unprotected as well as how the rich, powerful, and highly connected get away with almost anything.

Why Your Favorite Franchises are getting "ruined"
We all know the situation. It's been happening to all your favorite stuff. Your favorite book series, movie franchise or video game sequel. Whatever it is, if you've been around long enough, your favorite thing has been "ruined" or you've seen people complaining about it. Either way, there's a very simple reason for it. It makes money by guaranteeing that you have a lot of eyes on whatever product you are trying to push out.
